Chapter 80: Post Station Letter

Ye Mingzhu raised her eyebrows, glanced at her with a half-smile, then looked at Jiang Hongyu: "Brother Yu?"

Jiang Hongyu turned his head to look at her: "What's wrong? Are you done? Let's go."

His words made Ye Mingzhu laugh, and made Lu Jingya's eyes red with anger.

Lu Jingya stepped forward and said, "Brother Yu, please take care of her. It's very uncultured to talk to your cousin like that. If this happened in Beijing, people would definitely laugh at her."

Jiang Hongyu didn't even look at her. He lowered his head and said to Ye Mingzhu, "Do you want to buy some gifts later? After all, this is your first visit."

Ye Mingzhu nodded: "Then let's go, we'll go there after we finish shopping."

Lu Jingya stepped forward unhappily and puffed out her chest.

Ye Mingzhu looked at Ye Yunkang next to her and said, "Second cousin, your wife wants to cheat on you before she even gets married. Can you tolerate it?"

Lu Jingya's face changed, and Ye Mingzhu turned to her: "A woman who is about to get married in the capital city is really going to stop other men on the street and flirt with them? Don't embarrass the people of the capital city."

The person next to them who was pretending to buy something but actually eavesdropping burst out laughing, and when he saw Ye Mingzhu looking at him, he quickly lowered his head.

Lu Jingya's face had turned red. She didn't expect Ye Mingzhu to speak so directly. This was simply saying that she was available to anyone. The pride in her heart surged, and she felt insulted, and her eyes turned red.

Ye Mingzhu shook her head directly, then left with Jiang Hongyu with an expression of disgust on her face.

Lu Jingya was really angry this time and wanted to chase after him to argue, but Ye Yunkang grabbed her with a dark face and walked forward quickly.

Lu Jingya chased for a few steps but failed to catch up, and lost her temper: "Ye Yunkang, why are you walking so fast? I can't walk anymore."

Ye Yunkang said directly: "If you can't keep up, don't follow."

Lu Jingya had no choice but to continue to catch up quickly, and then she coaxed Ye Yunkang for a long time before he calmed down.

Although Ye Yunkang was angry about her attitude towards Jiang Hongyu just now, her appearance and charm were incomparable to the girls in the village, and since they were about to get married, he endured it.

However, he made up his mind to let Lu Jingya go out less often in the future. He had originally planned to bring her to buy a wedding dress, but in the end he only bought her an ordinary piece of red cloth.

Over there, Ye Mingzhu and Jiang Hongyu had already walked out of the street. Jiang Hongyu was hesitant to speak, and Ye Mingzhu didn't want to pay attention to him, but his gaze was too obvious, and Ye Yun'an saw it.

"Brother-in-law, why do you always look at my sister?"

Ye Mingzhu saw someone selling candy figurines on the roadside and pointed at them casually: "Your brother-in-law is looking at that candy figurine. Yun'an, do you want to buy one?"

Ye Yun'an's eyes lit up, and he became a little worried: "In this kind of weather, the sugar man can't be kept."

Jiang Hongyu rubbed his little head and said, "You, sugar figures are for eating. Go and choose one."

Ye Yun'an looked at Ye Mingzhu again, and seeing her nod, he happily went to the candy man stall, waiting attentively for the stall owner to draw a candy man for him.

Ye Mingzhu then turned to look at Jiang Hongyu: "Do you have something to say to me?"

Jiang Hongyu nodded first and then shook his head: "There's nothing wrong between Lu Jingya and me. She has been spoiled since she was a child. She does whatever she wants and doesn't consider others at all. Don't pay attention to her."

Ye Mingzhu had already seen it from Lu Jingya's performance just now.

She lost her virginity before marriage, and after the wedding date was set, she pretended to be aggrieved in front of other men. This was in ancient times. I really don’t know how Ye Yunkang could bear it.

I guess Uncle Ye’s family will have a lot of fun in the future, it’s a pity for Ye Yunjian and his wife.

Jiang Hongyu was relieved to see that Ye Mingzhu didn't care, but he also felt a little awkward.

At this time, Ye Yun'an had already got the sugar man, Jiang Hongyu paid the money, and they went to the shoe store together. There were not only soap boots, cloth shoes, but also small leather boots.

It was the first time Ye Mingzhu saw ancient leather boots. She picked up one at random and found it soft and delicate, a bit like modern boots.

"Boss, how much are these boots?" Jiang Hongyu took the boots directly from Ye Mingzhu's hand.

The shopkeeper glanced at it casually and came over immediately: "This was made to order, but they didn't want it anymore. I'll give you a discount, two taels of silver."

Ye Mingzhu was still calculating how much 2 taels of silver would be worth in modern times, but Jiang Hongyu had already asked the shopkeeper to pack it up.

"When the weather gets colder soon, these leather boots will be comfortable to wear."

Ye Mingzhu did not say no. She still had a lot of good things in her space. She would exchange them for silver and give them to Jiang Hongyu later.

I originally wanted to buy a pair of leather boots for Jiang Hongyu, but the shop didn't have them at the moment, so I could only buy two pairs of soap boots and a pair for Ye Yun'an. I also paid a deposit of 500 Wen and ordered a pair of men's leather boots.

The shopkeeper didn't expect them to buy so many things. He was so happy that his teeth were not visible. He repeatedly assured them that he would rush to make them and they could come and pick them up in three days.

Seeing that it was still early, the three of them walked and looked around. When they passed by a dim sum shop, they bought two packages of dim sum and took them to Ye Lang's house later.

Ye Mingzhu had never been around the town before, so Jiang Hongyu simply took the siblings to walk around a few streets.

When passing by a courtyard, the sound of martial arts practice came from inside. Outside the courtyard was a flag with the words "Xinglong Escort Agency" written on it.

Ye Mingzhu's eyes flashed, and she asked Jiang Hongyu beside her: "Can Xinglong Escort Agency send things?"

Jiang Hongyu took Ye Mingzhu a few steps forward before saying, "Xinglong Escort Agency can protect valuables, send people, and deliver letters."

Ye Mingzhu nodded. It was equivalent to the express delivery in ancient times, but the speed could not be guaranteed.

"I want to send a letter to my uncle. Can I go through Xinglong Escort Agency?"

Jiang Hongyu shook his head: "If you are just delivering a letter, you can go to the post station, it will be faster."

Ye Mingzhu was tempted to tell her uncle about Jiang Hongyu's job as a yamen runner, so that he would have less to worry about. Besides, if her uncle wanted to buy them a farm and a shop, she could also inform them through the post station.

After listening to this, Jiang Hongyu took the two of them directly to the post station, borrowed the pen and ink from the post station, wrote a letter, and delivered it directly to the shop where Wang Dahu was.

The address on the reply letter was Jiang Hongyu, who worked as a yamen runner in the town and was easy to find.

When everything was almost done and it was almost noon, they carried their things to Ye Langna.

Ye Lang lived in the west wing of a large courtyard. There were two rooms, one for living and the other for the kitchen. At this time, Sister Ying had already cleaned both rooms and steamed a pot of cornbread and a pot of steamed buns with dry food.

Together with the buns brought from home, it is enough for Ye Lang to eat for two days. Any more will not work as they will go bad easily.

When Sister Ying saw the dim sum in Ye Mingzhu's hand, her face was full of heartache: "We are all family, why did you buy such expensive dim sum?"

Ye Mingzhu felt that the relationship between people really depended on fate. She and Sister-in-law Ying had only known each other for two days, but Sister-in-law Ying felt sorry for her spending extra money, but Uncle Ye's family wanted to take away all her things.

The smile on her face became more genuine: "Sister-in-law, these are for my cousin to fill his stomach when he is hungry."

Sister-in-law Ying smiled and responded: "Okay, your cousin should be back soon, let's go out for dinner."
